Supplementary Material 2: List of the 74 species of birds found in the study region, divided into species presence in each site (L = Loughnan; P = Pulletop; G = Gubbata; T = Taleeban; I = interior; N = near and; F = far). Woodland-dependent classification was determined from synthesis of several sources (Ewin 1995; Major et al. 2001; Radford & Bennett 2005; Reid 2000).
